The trip will be led by a BC-qualified or an LCC-approved leader/coach.  However, we will paddle as a team taking joint responsibility for each other’s safety on the water.

Please ensure you carry the correct kit for the trip you are attending.  If we stay at the Sands, you need minimum kit.

Further notes:

Manoeuvres such as: Positive paddling upstream, Ferry gliding  Bow rudder,  Edging, Breaking out & Breaking into moving water, Bracing will be coached.
